What To Expect

Firstly we have a quick meet & greet with your Guide. The purpose of this is for a quick introduction and chat before getting on with some of the walking part of this spectacular walking tour. Ask your guide any questions you have as they’ll certainly be willing to answer. It’s what makes this tour good for everyone, from groups and families to solo travelers: our guides love to hear what interests you! Even if you have no knowledge of this little island you will easily find it here on this tour! So don't be afraid to say ‘HI!’ and ask a few questions here at the starting location and of course along the way too.

O'Connell Street

From the starting point our Guide will bring you on a journey towards the widest street in Ireland. You’ll hear how it got its current name after being renamed twice! O’Connell street is one of the main thoroughfares of Irish History and so has seen a lot of footfall over the centuries. Meet the Statues & Stand where the Irish War for Independence began and hear of the Irish Civil war which began immediately after independence was established. Find out what happened to Nelson’s Pillar and how all the windows of the street were broken all at once. From Dublin’s darkest days to the Stiletto in the Ghetto and beyond. O’Connell street is where it will all start for you on this tour.

Alex was an absolute gem to have as our guide. His knowledge about Dublin, its history and his recommendations for how to best experience it all was just incredible. His beautiful storytelling was a highlight for us. It was the perfect duration and route as well.

My daughters and I took a 90 minute Dublin walking tour with Alex of Finn McCool Tours. We made stops with lots of info provided by Alex to many spots, including Ha'Penny Bridge, the Post office with bullet holes from the war of independence, Temple Bar area, Dublin Castle, and many more. Alex hiked with us for a good 2 hours and I highly recommend him if you visit Dublin.

My family and I took the 90-minute Dublin tour with Alex as our guide, and we loved it. Alex was very knowledgeable and entertaining and kept us (and the rest of the group) thoroughly engaged. Cannot recommend Alex and Finn McCool tours enough.
